Abstract: A method for automatic detection of a medical instrument orientation for robotic surgery is presented. In particular, this method determines the orientation of a marker device (304) attached to the medical instrument (303) in relation to the robotic system (300) by comparing movement information. In detail, the method compares the information about a movement of the marker device (304) from a tracking system with the information about a movement of e.g. the robotic arm (301), which movement data can be acquired by the robotic system (300). One technical effect of the invention is that the orientation of the medical instrument (303) with respect to the robotic system (300) can be determined automatically and used for subsequent calculations such as e.g. an automatic and efficient precise alignment to a target trajectory or a correct positioning assistance for e.g. a mechatronic arm. Therefore, a computer- implemented medical method of automatically determining an orientation of a medical instrument base (303) in relation to a robotic system (300) is provided.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for simulating sensor data of a continuous wave, CW, Light Detection and Ranging, lidar, sensor, comprising the steps: generating a ray set comprising at least one ray, based on a CW signal 51, each ray in the ray set having an emission starting time (t_0) and an emission duration (T); propagating, for each ray in the ray set, the ray through a simulated scene comprising at least one object; computing, for each ray in the ray set, a signal contribution 71 of the propagated ray at a detection location in the simulated scene; generating an output signal 73, based on mixing the CW signal 51 with the computed signal contributions of the rays in the ray set; and at least one of storing and outputting the output signal. The invention provides simulation data corresponding to full-waveform signals of CW lidar sensors. The provided sensor data also allows to determine additional information, such as object shapes and object classes, and object orientation. Moreover, the sensor data also comprises artifacts which are present in real lidar data, which originate from physical properties of the lidar sensor and the environment and are absent in point-clouds- type data, such as multiple reflections of the lidar beam. Therefore, sensor development can be improved by also taking said artifacts into account. The invention accurately simulates how a real CW lidar sensor works and therefore accurately recreates the output of a real CW lidar sensor. The provided high-quality data, which is both complete and accurate to the real world, can also be of high value for developing signal processing algorithms, training neural networks, virtual validation, and the like.

An adaptive dual control of the stimulation device can be provided. In a first control loop parameters are extracted from signals recorded from the subject by the stimulation device, and in a second control loop a Bayesian optimization is implemented with a hardware processor and memory to compute updated operational parameters for the stimulation device. As noted, the stimulation device is an electrical stimulation device, and may be a closed-loop stimulation device. Such devices can be used for deep brain stimulation ("DBS"), cardiac resynchronization therapy ("CRT"), and other electrophysiological stimulation applications.

Abstract: Techniques and apparatuses are described that implement a smartphone-based radar system capable of detecting user gestures using coherent multi-look radar processing. Different approaches use a multi-look interferometer or a multi-look beamformer to coherently average multiple looks of a distributed target across two or more receive channels according to a window that spans one or more dimensions in time, range, or Doppler frequency. By coherently averaging the multiple looks, a radar system generates radar data with higher gain and less noise. This enables the radar system to achieve higher accuracies and be implemented within a variety of different devices. With these accuracies, the radar system can support a variety of different applications, including gesture recognition or presence detection.
